Need I tell you who coached this club. It was Mr. Klinck, of course. It seems that every t’me that grand teacher coaches a team he brings it home with a trophy. The Walkerville Senior Soccer team kicked their way through this year’s schedule with not one defeat. Competition was tough at times, but Walkerville’s spirit and excellent team work brought the lads through on top every time. Mr. Klinck taught the boys to play system¬ atically and the teamwork that the club showed on the field of battle looked like clockwork. “Walkerville Senior Soccer Footers!” You played the game the way it should be played. Walkerville C. I. students unanim¬ ously extend to you their compliments ond congratulations. These undefeated team-mates are: Goal: Clare Reese Fullbacks: Allister, Scorgie, Edward Cook, Terry Tarleton, Halfbacks: Donald Wilson, Ian Steele, Grant Peifer, Nick Yared, Don Mc- Elroy, Forwards: Gordon MacMillan, Jack Ogg. Bill Guignion, Alex Powell, Reg. Moore, Melvin Carrier,, Jack Skinner. They sat side by side in the moonlight, And she murmered as she stroked his brow, “Darling, I know my life’s been fast, But I’m on my last lap now”. Her: Do you think you’ll find a perfect girl? Russel K.: No, but it’s a lot of fun mak¬ ing sure they weren’t. Page Seventythree

BLUE AND WHITE TRACK Always have the Walkerville track teams defended their colours and always have they brought back honours for the Walkerville rooters to praise. True to form the blue and white track team worked famously at the sunny field days last spring. Not only in Windsor, but in London, the trim boys displayed their speed and made themselves famous. Among the prominent senior athletes we find Len Camlis who captured the senior W.O.S.S.A. discus championship in the last track festival. In the 440 yard race at the Windsor meet, compet¬ ition was extremely stiff and our blue and white champion ran beautifully to capture second place honours. This all around athlete ran on Walk- erville’s Senior Relay team that put on a fine show at London and finished 30 yards ahead of the next closest contend¬ er to win the W.O.S.S.A. relay champ¬ ionship. Fred Thatcher, who is now a staunch member of the R.C.A.F., has always performed brilliantly in track as well as on the basketball floor. This year Fred won a good second place in the senior high hurdles, both at Windsor and Lon¬ don. This graceful runner had a post on Walkerville’s famous relay team. Still watching the smooth cinder track we find that Gilbert Morris ran third in the senior half mile, with Ed. Cooke placing third. Ed. threw a good javelin this year and brought home a 4th place pointer after the spear-tossing match. Other excellent senior perform¬ ers are Claire Fisher who was on the winning senior relay team and Bill Ham¬ ilton who gained third honours in the senior high jump. Intermediate Track Always will we remember the work of that brilliant rugby player and grand fellow Jack Panabaker. Jack tried his hand at track this year and showed ev¬ erybody what real athletes are made of. Showing up as an intermediate at the - . Windsor meet, this boy won the broad jump, ran second in the intermediate hop, skip and jump, and placed third in the 440; and captured third place in the 220 yard dash. As do all good track men, Jack w r ent to the London track showing and performed there in senior togs. Here, in the broad jump, he leaped to fourth place honours. On the winning senior relay team Jack was an important cog. Lloyd Huntingford, an intermediate this year, ran fourth in the 440 yard and 220 yard runs, fourth in the Javelin throw and fourth in the broad jump. Running smoothly to second place pointers in the intermediate relay race at Windsor were Joe Martin, Jack Pan¬ abaker, Lloyd Huntingford and Ozzie MacMillan. Congratulations, track teams, you set a fine pace for future Walkerville track men. Juvenile Track Team Last year’s Juvenile track team, coached by Mr. Klinck, won a number of honours, both at the Kennedy Colleg¬ iate meet and at the W.O.S.S.A. meet in the University of Western Ontario Stadium. These bantam weights, led by Charlie Cherrie, who was juvenile cham¬ pion at Kennedy, went to London to try their best and defeat London Central High School who had beaten them by half a point for the juvenile champion¬ ship the year before. Charlie Cherrie again distinguished himself and w r on the high jump and Jim Jenkins, another member of the team placed third in this event. Later Charlie got another point by placing third in the broad jump. Lat¬ er, members of the relay team turned on the heat. A Walkerville juvenile relay team which has not lost at London for the past three years, again kept this honour by beating London Central by at least ten yards, but unfortunately, this was not enough, because London Cent¬ ral captured the meet again by half a point. But Mr. Klinck is determined to beat them this year. Letter and pin winners Page Seventy five
